COOK.
Out of tlio groat flood tho fourteen
th rogiraont has gathered a masoot In
tho person of Shad Lewis Jones, a
colorod man. Tho fellow lived former
ly on Cinder street, In Johnstown,
whoro ho lost his wifo and ono child.
"Shad," which is tho niokuamo tho
soldiers havo conferred upon him, is a
charaotor from tho soles of his largo
feet to tho top of his oocoanut shaped
head.
When ho talks about tho flood and
tolls how ho lost his wife, his voleo be
comes tromulous with pathos and sin
cere emotion.
"Ah, gontlomcn," ho will say, "I
loved my wife dearly, ntid I stayed
with her on tho roof as long as there
was room for us both. But when tho
water camo so near and so high that I
saw wo wouldn't lo able to hold on
both, I jumped off to savo myself."
"But why did you not ntay with
your wifo and drown with her sooner
than let her perish by herself!"
"Well, now, look here, sir; thoso
wero trying tlmo," ho answered, "and
self preservation is tho first law of
nature"
And that is tho only excuses ho will
offer. But after tho waters began to
roccdo ho went anxiously looking
about, and ho nover rested until his
wifo was found and buried. It was
then Dr. Poster, of the Fourteenth re
giment, found him, and ho got him at
onco installed as cook. In that capa
city Shad has not only been tho man
who furnished tho table with all the
delicacies tho camp would produce,
but ho has also been tho main source
of amusement and entertainment to all
the soldiers.
An incident took place- ono
morning in tho gorgo of dobris abovo
the Pennsylvania railroad bridge,
whero a gang of Italians havo been
employed in clearing out tho wrookaga
and hunting for dead bodies. They
suddenly struck an object, which look
ed very much like the corpso of a child
about 4 years of age. Gently and
carefnlly, in order to keep the baby un
harmed, tho man cleared tho rubbish,
dirt and lumber away to lay tho body
bare. It was a hard task, because the
logs had surrounded tho body as in a
doublo wedge and its extrication was
at last accomplished under vory con
siderable difficulties.
When tho Italian had succeeded,
however, ho was afraid to touch tho
body, so ho called some of his frionds,
but all woro afraid to touch it. Then
word was Bent to tho Millvillo morgue,
and in a few minutes half a dozen
men arrived with a stretcher for the
transportation of tho corpse to the
morguo.
But when ono of tho undertakers ex
amined tho body all tho Italians ran
away with horrified astonishment
when tho man said : "Go get mo an
ar. I will chop this body up and
bury tho pieces.
Tho Italians wero disgusted at tho
brutality of tho undertaker's expres
sion and nothing would induce them
to come near him, and even while
everybody was laughing at their fright
they stayed away. Tho fact of tho
matter was that tho supposed corpso
of a little baby was nothing but a very
handsomo baby doll, about two and a
half feet long.
The relio hunter, who has been a
groat nuisance in Johnstown to tho
civil and military authorities, can at
last get all tho relics he wants if ho
chooses to pay for them. One of tho
latest acquisitions has been a relic
seller, and tho follow, who comes from
Harrisburg, is doing quite a business
already. He only arrived yesterday,
but ho has got a very fino stook of
things on hand, but how long it will
last is hard to tell. Old coins, pieces
of ivory from pianos and organs, table
spoons, forks, small ornamentB and ar
tides of every kind are sold from 5
cents up to 50 cents and a dollar.

way that tho snake was nassed ovnr

left an easy viotun for the crow, which
on tho approach of a team quit the road

Sure enough in the courso of a few

The Vote on Prohibition.
While tho aggregftto majority against
st tho prohibitory amendment has
steadily Increased sinco election night
until thn ofllolal voto was ascertained,
tho number of counties carried for tho
amendment has increased also, and tho
majorities havo Inorcasod on both
sides, with the greater incrcaso against
prohibition.
Tho prohibitory amendment has ma
jorities in 20 counties, and 38 counties
gavo majorities against it. Tho poli
tical comploxion of tho counties voting
for prohibition 23 Republican, 4 De
mocratic and 2 (Westmoreland and

tho other hand, that tho great centres

majorities against prohibition. I'hila

Theao eight of tho strongest Republi
can counties of tbo State, cast, in
round numbers, 155,000 of tho 190,
000 majority against prohibition.
Tho voto is unexpectedly larqo uni
formly throughout tho Stato. Indeed,
it is larger than is common for impor
tant Stato officers in off political years,
and it is safo to assume that it was tho
prohibitory amendment that brought
tho voto out. The foar that tho mass
of people wero indifferent on the ques
tion was entirely groundless, and there
was a free voto regardless of party
orders.
The churoh and raco questions both
.assert thcmsolvos resolutely on tho ro
suit, A decided preponderance of
Episcopalians, Catholics, Lutherans
and Israelites wero against constitu
tional prohibition. Tho old-liuo l'res
byterians were divided, with tho Unit
ed Presbyterians generally in favor of
tho amendment, as wero tho majority
of both Methodists and Baptists. The
German counties of tho Stato voted
strongly against prohibition) the Yan

THE CONSTITUTIONALPROHIIIITION AMEND

Providence, June 20.
In common phrase, Rhodo Island
went "wet to-day, but that expression
falls short of tho truo meaning of the
vote, it means that people are tired
of a constitutional enactment which is
not supported by publio opinion, whioh
is not enforced or enforceable, and
which has practically meant free rum

The General Assembly which took
its seat three weeks ago at Newport
was elected on tho issue of resiibmm
sion and much of the battle wa fought
at tho April election. Tho time for
actual work of the repeal campaign
was brief and was utilized almost en
tirely in dissemination of printed mat
tor. The Prohibitionists wero the
only ones who held meetings, but none
of these caused much enthusiasm.
Matters wero very diffVrent from tho
whoop and rush which carried tho
amondment three yearn ago, and the
result of which astonished even its pro
moters.
Women woro at tho poll, to-diy,
but it is safo to say very few votes
were cast for reason of sentiment or
gallantry. The operation of the bal
lot reform bill had been postponed un
til after this election on account of the
difficulty in putting it into immediate
use, but it is not probable that biibery
was attempted.
The largo increase of the voto over
that of 1880 is due to tho adoption in
the interim, of the seventh amendment
providing for manhood suffrage.
